RAJOY’S BREXIT THREAT

MARIANO Rajoy, acting Spanish Prime Minister, has warned that UK citizens could forfeit crucial rights - including free healthcare in Spain - if the Brexit vote triumphs in this month’s UK referendum.

Rajoy: UK health will be damaged by Brexit Continued from front.

More than 500,000 British citizens live and work in Spain, while 100,000 Spanish citizens live in the UK, said Rajoy.

“I have no doubt whatsoever, as I have repeatedly stated, that it would be very negative if the United Kingdom left the European Union. Negative for everybody - for the United Kingdom, for Spain, and for the European Union.

“But, above all, it would be very negative for British citizens: the European Union is based, ever since its foundation, on the principles of freedom of movement of people, goods, services and capitals.”

Rajoy added: “Leaving the European Union would mean that British citizens would lose their right to move freely, work and do business within the largest economic area, the largest market in the world.

“If the United Kingdom left the European Union, it would be very negative for everyone, and from every perspective.”

British expats in Spain, many of them retired, have expressed concern about access to healthcare after a potential Leave vote.

At the moment, UK citizens are entitled to healthcare via the European health insurance card, or free health insurance from the Spanish Government under EU law.

But Spain would

not be obliged to carry on offering free healthcare to non-EU citizens. And the downsides to an EU exit keep on coming. A Brexit could also potentially affect residencia applications from Brits who want to live legally in Spain.

As it stands, all EU citizens have an automatic right to apply for a residencia if they can prove they can support themselves financially, and without a need to dip into the Spanish social security system.

It’s not just Spain, of course, which would provide a work problem for Brits across the EU. Some experts are also suggesting that travel visas might be required for Brits to enter EU countries, and this is something about which senior Spanish politicians have remained quiet.

British tourism is extremely important to the Spanish economy,

and the country would be wise not to upset the apple-cart by requiring documentation and, maybe, even some sort of tourist tax.

The potential Brexit is hitting many Brits in the pocket right now. Since the referendum was announced, the Pound has struggled against the Euro, falling from around 1.43 against the Euro at Christmas to around 1.25 today.

There is no doubt a Brexit would see the Pound fall again in the short term. This will hit pensioners hard, and also leave holiday-makers with fewer Euros to spend in Spain - all rea-

sons why Rajoy wants Britain to remain.

Rajoy’s comments followed Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s warning that a pledge

by Brexit campaigners to enact a points-based immigration system would mean British citizens facing similar barriers to travel and work in Europe.

“It would be unavoidable, inevitable for us, and, I think, for many of us in Europe, to follow the same proposals to implement a points system, and also the rest of the European Union,” Rutte told BBC News.

“So you would get a race to the bottom, and

that’s exactly what you don’t want.”

Leave campaigners have argued that new rights for British citizens to live and work in other EU countries could be negotiated after Brexit.

Free movement and its effects on migration to the UK is one of the key issues for voters, according to new polling conducted by Vote Leave, which found almost half of those surveyed said levels of migration from the other 27 EU countries had been bad for the UK, against 26% who believed it had benefited Britain.

Meanwhile, Mariano Rajoy will visit the Canary Islands next Saturday (18th June), stopping first in Tenerife and later in Gran Canaria.

Rajoy has recently been campaigning in Andalusia, Valencia and Cataluña, the mostpopulated autonomous regions, ahead of the 26th June General Election. He has also been busy in Castilla-La Mancha, and will have two rallies in Aragon before another couple in Madrid.

By polling day, Rajoy will have travelled to all regions in Spain, with exception of Castilla y León, La Rioja and the Basque Country, which will be covered by María Dolores de Cospedal, the PP’s General Secretary.

One of Rajoy’s main rivals, Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera, will campaign in Tenerife on

23rd June.

Tenerife is the only Canary Island visited by Rivera during the campaign for the elections.

It is not clear yet when the PSOE and Podemos leaders will turn up.

Official electioneering starts today (Friday), when the parties will reveal their manifestos.

Rajoy’s Popular Party promises a round of tax cuts, and the acting PM will campaign again on a “better-the-devil-youknow’ platform.

He will point out that the other three parties couldn’t make a government after the December elections, and that the PP alone can bring stability.

Podemos, which looks to be the main opposition, will again campaign as the “anti-austerity” party. It plans to increase public spending by 30bn euros, but has not revealed how it will pay for this.

Ciudadano, pledging to make tourism the country’s main income, wants to implement a law that will see English spoken at all levels of public education.

The party wants kids to leave school as fluent English-speakers.

The beleaguered PSOE party wants to increase the amount of state aid for new families.

The General Election is on 26th June and, at the moment, the PP looks on course to increase its vote share.

But Rajoy’s party would still be a few percentage points short of forming a government.

Tears for The Greatest

By John Hennessey

MILLIONS of worldwide tears will again be shed today (Friday) when Muhammad Ali is buried in his hometown Louisville, Kentucky, after losing his 32year battle with Parkinson’s disease last Friday.

Boxing three-time world heavyweight champion died at the age of 74 in a Phoenix hospital, sparking a global outpouring of grief.

He had spent the previous few days there, being treated for respiratory complications. And from the moment it was made public, the end seemed inevitable.

Millions of words have since been written about the most famous sportsman of all and his immense contribution to the world, initially as one of the greatest boxers ever - “The Greatest” according to him - and then as a humanitarian.

Parkinson’s, a progressive neurological condition, slowly robbed him of both his verbal grace and his physical dexterity. Yet he still managed to retain his wit His daughter, Rasheda, said early last Saturday that the legend was “no longer suffering”, describing him as “daddy, my best friend and hero” as well as “the greatest man that ever lived.”

But even as his health declined, Ali did not shy from politics or controversy, releasing a statement in December criticising Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US. “We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda,” he said.

The remark summed up the life of a man who burst into the national consciousness in the early Sixties when, as a young world heavyweight champion, he converted to Islam and refused to serve in the Vietnam War. He became an emblem of strength, eloquence, conscience and courage.

Ali was an anti-establishment showman, tran-

scending borders and barriers, race and religion. His fights against other men became spectacles, but he embodied many worthier battles.

The fighter, born Cassius Marcellus Clay on 17th January 1942 in Louisville to middleclass parents, started boxing when he was 12.

He progressed through the amateur ranks, finally winning a gold medal as a light-heavyweight at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, The still-named Clay turned professional soon afterwards, supported at first by Louisville business owners, who guaranteed him an unprecedented 50-50 split in earnings.

His knack for talking up his own talents in verse earned him the nickname “The Louisville Lip”. But he backed it up with action, relocating to Miami to work with top trainer Angelo Dundee and build a case for a world heavyweight title shot. En route, he even survived a vicious, fourth-round knockdown by British favourite Henry Cooper and stopped him on cuts in the next round.

As his profile rose, Ali acted against American racism and, after being refused service at a Kentucky restaurant because he was black, he said he threw his Olympic gold medal into a river, later admitting he hadn’t!

Ali found guidance from the Nation of Islam, an American Muslim sect that advocated racial separation and rejected the pacifism of most civil-rights activism.

Inspired by Malcolm X, one of the group’s leaders, he converted in 1963.

But he kept his new faith a secret until the crown was safely in hand.

That came the following year, when heavyweight champion Sonny Liston agreed to fight the then Cassius Clay, thinking the brash youngster would be a push-over.

The challenger geared up for the bout with a litany of insults and rhymes, including the timeless line, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”.

He beat the fearsome Liston in a sixth-round technical knock-out - one of the greatest boxing shocks of all. Still in the ring and soaking up the

glory, he declared: “I’m the greatest! I shook up the world!”

He shook it up even more the following day when he announced his conversion to Islam, and again a month later when he told the press that he had chosen a new name - Muhammad Ali - to replace his “slave name”.

The new champ spent the next couple of years defending both his title and his beliefs, facing his greatest challenge when, in 1966, he was drafted into the US Army.

Ali responded by declaring himself a conscientious objector, saying famously: “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong.”

And when his name was called at his induction ceremony, he refused to step forward and was promptly arrested.

But Ali, essentially banned from fighting in the US for the remainder of the year, continued to fight abroad. However, a year later his passport was revoked and he was stripped of both his title - handed to Joe Frazier and his boxing licence.

Ali supported himself by doing the other thing he did best: talking!

With growing opposition to the Vietnam War, his opinions on the subject, and his refusal to serve in the military, carried weight in the counterculture movement.

It enabled him to support himself through a speaking tour of colleges and universities around the country.

In 1971, the Supreme Court reversed Ali’s conviction, and his boxing licence was reinstated.

And on 8th March, 1971, after a warm-up fight, Ali stepped into the ring at Madison Square Gardens for the “Fight of the Century” against Joe Frazier.

He lost a 15-round decision - his first pro defeat - but after defeating 12 of his next 13 opponents, he and then-deposed champion Frazier met again. Ali won, earning a chance to regain the title, then held by the awesome, unbeaten George Foreman, who terrified opponents.

The “Rumble in the Jungle” was staged in Kinshasa, Zaire, in October 1974 and Ali again stunned the boxing world by knocking out Foreman, whom he wore out in the oppressive African heat with his “ropea-dope” strategy. At 32, Ali was a two-time heavyweight world champion.

Many felt he should have retired then, with nothing left to prove.

But he knew better, and the following year, Ali faced and defeated Frazier again in the “Thrilla in Manilla,” ranked one of the all-time great heavyweight title battles. It was halted after 14 rounds with his opponent battered and numbed on his stool.

After several more victories, Muhammad Ali lost his title to a novice, Leon Spinks, in February

1978. Seven months later, Ali defeated Spinks to regain the title for a record second time, but lost it to Larry Holmes in 1980.

It was his saddest fight of all because his former sparring partner toyed with him before inflicting his only professional stoppage, after the 10th round.

Ali, a mere shell of the fighter he used to be, was beaten by Trevor Berbick in 1981, and, finally, at age 39, he hung up his gloves for good.

Three years later, having taken dreadful punishment in his latter fights, Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological condition which over the years would slow the fleet-footed fighter considerably, causing his once-powerful hands to weaken and shake.

Yet even though Ali’s condition worsened, it never dampened his fighting spirit, his convictions or his wit, and for the remainder of his life, he devoted himself to charitable endeavours.

These included the Special Olympics and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, as well as the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Research Centre.

In his final years, Ali was barely able to speak.

Asked to share his personal philosophy with NPR, in 2009, Ali let his wife read his essay: “I never thought of the possibility of failing, only of the fame and glory I was going to get when I won,” he wrote. “I could see it. I could almost feel it. When I proclaimed that I was the greatest of all time, I believed in myself, and I still do.”

Was he “The Greatest”?

Of course he was, in and out of the ring, which is why millions will mourn his passing today.

SPAIN’S tourism sector is again preparing for a record number of arrivals this summer, boosted for the sixth consecutive year by ongoing security fears in other Mediterranean destinations such as Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey.

Employment agencies are anticipating a 13% increase in temporary workers over the summer months, while car sales have soared 38% year-on-year as rental firms buy new fleets of vehicles to meet expected demand.

The promised summer boom follows a record number of arrivals between January and April: some 18.1 million - up 13% on the same period for 2015.

And, says Ricard Santomà, dean of the Tourism faculty at Barcelona’s Universidad Ramón Llull: “The outlook is spectacular.

Failing a catastrophe or some major security

Tourist figures are heading for record

issue, we’ll beat last year’s record easily.”

He added that many airlines had lowered ticket prices to reflect the fall in oil prices only to see them rising again.

Rafael Gallego, President of Spain’s CEAV confederation of travel agents, said: “Coun-

tries such as Egypt and Turkey still face enormous problems. Spain will receive many of the tourists who could have travelled to those countries, which compete with us as sun-andbeach destinations.

“As a result, there are areas in the Balearics where it is already im-

Tomato-growers backed

by Agriculture Ministry

THE Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water, which pledged aid to tomato-export producers of the agricultural production community in the Canaries, has paid them 5.27m euros in a Support Programme.

A total of 200 farmers, with 685.44 hectares of crops between them, will benefit in the Archipelago, said the Canary Islands Government.

All the farmers, belonging to the Organisations of Fruit and Vegetables (OPFH), market their product outside the Canary Islands.

The Ministry, and tomato industry representatives, working on a long-term Strategic Plan for the crop, have been liaising with the

European Union, which has approved the payment.

There will be an amendment to the EU farmers’ payment quota (POSEI) for the 2016 campaign, which increases from 7,700 euros per hectare to 11,000 euros. These payments prevent the loss of acreage for tomato production. And this strengthens, directly, the support for the product and the regions producing the crop.

possible to find accommodation this summer.”

Gallego also expects to see an increase of up to 15% in the number of Spaniards holidaying at home.

Last year, around 68 million tourists visited Spain and, should the current monthly in-

creases for this year continue, the country will easily reach 70 million this year.

But Santomà is concerned that the country could be reaching saturation point: “This is an aspect that Spain has not looked at carefully enough,” he said.

“It’s one of the first

things we teach on our course: you have to know what the load capacity is.

“But the Government and the sector have never sat down together to discuss this seriously - not even in cities like Barcelona, which already receives 10 million people.”

The tourism sector has driven Spain’s economy over the course of the crisis, although many hotels have had to lower their prices to continue attracting visitors during the worst years of the recession. Prices in three-star and four-star hotels this summer will be the same as when the crisis began in 2008.

But the average cost of a five-star hotel has risen by three euros, from 168 euros eight years ago … hardly enough to discourage tourists!

Why drivers really love the ring-road ALL motorists must be aware of how busy the Tenerife roads have become, but it appears that one of the plans to relieve the weight of traffic is actually working.

The new south-west section of the Island ring-road is proving to be a big success, especially the stretch between Adeje and Santiago del Teide.

This was one of the most complicated and expensive works in Tenerife in recent years, and early data indicates the importance of this in the road infrastructure.

Figures released by the Ministry of Public Works show that the current volume of traffic is double the volume expected for this section.

The old stretch of road was able to accommodate 6,000 vehicles a day, and experts thought this would remain.

But the number using the 21-kilometre stretch is more than 12,000, and it’s all down to the last part of the viaduct, between Adeje and Erques, which opened

last Christmas. José Luis Delgado, regional Managing Director of Road Infrastructure, said: “The feedback we get from these first months is very positive.

Not only has the traffic doubled already, but we see that it continues to grow every day.”

Saving time and fuel, combined with journey comfort, are the advantages drivers are beginning to enjoy.

Delgado added: “Word gets around, and there are more and more users. I know many people who live in Tacoronte and prefer to go to the South by the North, before the TF-5, towards the metropolitan area.

“The only negative is the stretch between El Tanque and Santiago del Teide, which is still complicated.”

The increasing density of traffic is producing greater movement of the economy in towns like Guia de Isora and Santiago del Teide. “The mayor of this town in the last few days told us that the municipality will now have people from elsewhere in the South just to take a trip, something unthinkable a few years ago. Is generating a lot of life, “says Delgado.

Valleseco beach is given a legal nod

THE new beach at Vallesco, in the Santa Cruz municipality, was this week given the green light by the Supreme Court following last month’s judgement.

This is the final, legal okay for the construction of docks, warehouses, dry-docks, bridges, cliff-settings and beach areas at Valleseco. It will also have an environmental protection-site document.

The ruling will allow the development of the district of Anaga and the coastline project, designed by architects

Joaquín Casariego and Elsa Guerra.

The Supreme Court rejected appeals from the initial ruling in

May 2014, which went against some appeals by the local Government and the Cabildo, ruling instead in favour of the Port Authority.

The court decreed that “the exercise of the jurisdiction over the historical heritage, in this case, corresponds to the central government (national) and not the autonomous government local).”

Jose Manuel Bermudez, the jubilant Santa Cruz Mayor behind the new beach, said: “Now the ruling is final, there is no excuses for the

General Directorate of Coasts not to invest in the work of the Valleseco beach. It is good news for everyone.”

In backing the judgement of the Supreme Court, he added: “Every time I went to Madrid to claim the impetus to get this project on track, and for work to restart, the argument was that the court decision was pending.

“We had the project supported and agreed, and a favourable environmental impact report. So it’s great news.”

Marathon’s successful run THE Santa Cruz Marathon goes from strength to strength and the next event, later this year, is set to be the biggest and best yet.

It’s hard to believe the event has been going for just two years, but the steady increase in followers to social media is pleasing the organisers.

This week, a new Instagram account was set up to handle uploads of photos and videos. Mil-

lions who use this network can find the Marathon of Santa Cruz @ maratontenerife.

The portal will provide useful tips for runners of all levels and, of course, will serve to promote the city and the Island.

This new portal strengthens a brand that has many followers on major networks: Facebook (Marathon de Tenerife) and Twitter (@MaratonTenerife),

along with popular website www.maratondetenerife.com - giving all the information on the event’s three modes: 8km, 21km and 42km races.

Meanwhile, for the first time, Santa Cruz will become the headquarters of the Canary Islands Championship Marathon.

The Canaria Athletics Federation has decided to grant that status to the Marathon of Santa

Cruz de Tenerife Sport Zone.

In its 2015 edition, that was also the test designated to host the Canaries Championship Half Marathon.

Marathon Santa Cruz de Tenerife Sport Zone is organised by the city of Santa Cruz and the company given events, with the collaboration of the Cabildo, Canary Islands Athletics Federation and Ports of Tenerife.

The band are back together

Drug-trafficking suspects nabbed SPANISH National Police arrested three people at Malaga Airport, one a security guard working there, after stifling their bid to smuggle cannabis worth more than £30,000 on a London flight.

Detectives said the guard was helping his partners get the drugs on to the plane in their hand-luggage, neatly bypassing security controls to restricted areas of the airport.

The passengers were trying to board a flight to Gatwick with a small suitcase containing 4.5 kilos of the drug.

And the Police also seized more than £350

in cash and six mobile phones, together with 23, 50-euro notes, from the three men, all Spaniards aged between 30 and 43.

They are being investigated on suspicion of drug-trafficking, and being members of an organised gang.

The arrests occurred following a tip-off in Marbella that several people were smuggling drugs on commercial flights between Spain and the UK, sparking Operation Roky.

But Police were unable to say how much cannabis they thought had been smuggled into Britain before the arrests.

THEY are no longer on a mission from God, but they’re still belting out the tunes … and they’re coming to Tenerife this summer.

The Original Blues Brothers Band are

the latest confirmed act for the Legends Live series of concerts.

Most of the founding members have either retired or died, but a couple remain.

Steve Cropper, a music legend, is still the driving force. “The Colonel” is joined by “Blue” Lou Marini, who remains one of the world’s finest sax

players. The Saturday Night Live sketches were great, the film was a brilliant cult classic, but the band are, and will remain, all about the music.

They have always been the meanest, slickest line-up of bad-ass blues’ cats ever assembled.

These were the men behind Otis Redding,

Booker T & the MGs, Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Wilson Pickett, plus Sam & Dave, to name just to name a few.

The players have changed a little in recent years, but the quality remains and the 19th August show, at the Priamdes de Arona, is sure to be a sell-out.

EasyJet makes amends for family’s no-go Tenerife nightmare

Flight of fancy!

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

The heat is on

SUMMER is certainly here, even if a few places seem a little quiet. There’s not a cloud in the sky at the moment, sleeping is tricky and the aircon suppliers are smiling like a kiddie on Christmas morning.

We are now just a few days away from the moaners, who bleat: “It’s too hot!”. They are, of course, the same people who in January go: “It’s too cold!”

It’s June, it’s Tenerife what do they expect?

They remind me of the classic Fawlty Towers sketch, in which Basil is having problems with Mrs Richards, played by the brilliant Joan Sanderson.

Mrs R: “When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that.”

Basil: “But that is Torquay, madam.”

Mrs R: “Well it’s not good enough.”

Basil: “Well, may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the

plain..?”

Mrs R: “Don’t be silly. I expect to be able to see the sea.”

Basil: “You can see the sea! It’s over there, between the land and the sky!”

The warmer weather is also the green light for what is a brilliant week of sport. Obviously, the European Football Championship is now underway, and many business owners will hope for a “proper” tournament.

Two years ago, in the World Cup, England and holders Spain went out inside the first week and that cost the local community fortunes!

But with Wales and the two Irelands also involved in the Euros, it will be boom time for bars, restaurants and the suppliers. Thousands of people have come here this week, just for the atmosphere the tournament will produce in our entertainment venues.

Let’s hope the nations have a good run. And, of course, this coming week it’s Royal Ascot.

Five days of brilliant, top-class racing. I love the way some bars here embrace it and put on special events.

Thursday is Ladies Day, and a great excuse for the women to get dressed up and wear a hat … while the men go topless, watching England versus Wales!

DISTRAUGHT parents claim they had to cancel their £2,300, allinclusive, dream holiday to Tenerife because their easyJet flight was overbooked, and other passengers refused to help accommodate them.

Instead, Jay and Carolyn Mortimore, along with their two children Ryley, 12, and Brayden, seven, and Mr Mortimore’s mother, Susan Hutter, spent the kids’ half-term holiday in a caravan at Exmouth instead.

To round off what they described as “the worst day of our lives”, their four-year-old dog - being looked after by a family friend - had to be put down unexpectedly later that day.

The family had booked their first holiday for eight years last August, and Mr Mortimore said his boys had been “counting down the days” before they could jet off to Tenerife.

His mother, 61-yearold Susan, had also booked a ticket to join them. But their problems began when they arrived at the check-in desk at Bristol Airport last Tuesday.

They had been unable to print off their boarding passes, and had to wait 35 minutes at the desk before they were issued with them.

But they were handed just three because, by this time, the plane was full, with no more room for passengers.

Mr Mortimore, 35, was told he was on the reserve list “if a seat became available”, but his mother offered up her ticket so the family could all go together.

More drama unfolded when the family boarded the packed flight. As there were no spaces on

the plane for two people to sit next to each other - and because children must be seated next to an adult - the flight attendant asked if anyone would volunteer giving up his or her place.

When her plea fell on deaf ears, the Mortimore family had to trudge off the aircraft and watch the flight take off.

The fall-out left the children in tears and family out of pocket because they were offered just £554 in compensation by easyJet. Mr Mortimore, from Exeter, said: “There were all these adults on the flight and no one offered to move seats. We were asked to go out on to the steps, and we ended up on the tarmac of the runway for halfan-hour.

“The boys were shivering because it was so cold, and Brayden was scared because he’d never been on a plane and didn’t like the noise of the engines.”

They then watched as the plane took off without them and Mr Mortimore added: “EasyJet staff told us they oversell flights by 10% to make sure it is fully booked, and that it was a frequent problem, trying to get everyone on flights when they were busy.

“They told us on Tuesday there were 33 flights, and that 27 were overbooked by 20%.”

To worsen matters, the family then learned that their dog had been rushed to the vets and had to be put down.

The family made the best of things by spending the week at a holiday park in Exmouth, but it was hardly a match for their dream holiday in Tenerife However, easyJet relented when officials heard the full, sorry story and agreed to refund the family every penny after Mr Mortimore, a self-employed groundworker, described their nightmare as “probably, the worst day of our lives.”

He added: “It was meant to be a muchneeded break. I’d been working six-or-sevenday weeks, and Carolyn had been working night shifts as a care assistant so we could pay off the holiday in February.

“But instead of being a great family experience, we’ve all sat at home crying because we’re angry about the holiday and upset about our dog.

“When we finally got back home our boys were shattered and devastated. They had been counting down the days until their holiday for months.”

After failing to board their flight, easyJet offered to pay for a taxi to take the disgruntled family to Exeter airport, where Thomas Cook had flights to Tenerife.

But they would have had to fork out for the flight, and there were just three available seats.

Another option was for them to fly from Gatwick the following day, but they were told the flight was fully booked

and feared being left in the same situation.

An easyJet spokesman said: “Like other airlines, we overbook on some flights to fill seats which would otherwise fly vacant. “EasyJet has some of the highest load-factors in the industry, but we do not achieve this by overbooking in the way that traditional airlines do.

“Some 2.6m passengers a year do not turn up for their easyJet flights, and a flight will be overbooked only after reviewing the noshow rate for the last three months.

“On average, across our flights, we will only overbook by one or two passengers per flight. As a result, it is extremely rare for easyJet to deny boarding of passengers because the flight is overbooked.

“As this booking was made through Thomas Cook and not directly with easyJet, the Mortimore family would need to contact Thomas Cook directly.’

But easyJet performed an abrupt U-turn and said the family would be compensated in full. A spokesman said: “EasyJet protects families from any overbooking, so this situation should simply not have occurred.

“We should have been able to seat the Mortimore family together to enable them to travel, and they will be fully compensated for their experience.

‘EasyJet does everything it can to seat families together, and it has a sophisticated formula which seats families together more than 99% of the time.

“On the rare occasion where this hasn’t been possible, we’ll ask passengers onboard to move to accommodate families with young children. It is very rare that passengers aren’t prepared to do so, although that was the case on this flight.”

Department store lager a real classic

THE Spanish consumer watchdog OCU, having sampled 31 exhibits, has decided that El Corte Inglés department store’s Hipercor brand lager offers the best value among classic beers.

The OCU says that Hipercor’s 33-centilitre tin is not only tastier than its better-known rivals - such as Mahou and Heineken - but at 36 cents a can, it is also much cheaper.

In the speciality category, Ambar and Estrella Galicia, which come in at between

55-76 cents a tin, are the best, beating, for example, supermarket chain Mercadona’s Stark and Condis Premium Pilsner.

The OCU laboratory tested the composition of all the beers, checking the amount of malt used in the brewing process, as well as assessing taste and appearance.

Its conclusions are that Germany and Belgium have little to fear for the moment, given that only onethird of Spanish beers put to the taste-test were considered acceptable.

Spaniards each drink an average of 46 litres of beer annually, costing around 1.48 euros a litre.

More and more people rescued by Red Cross BARELY a month goes by without the Red Cross announcing that more and more families in Tenerife need some sort of help. And June is no different.

“The latest data we have reflects what we have been saying for a while - we are seeing a increasing number of people coming to ask for help,” says José Luis Camison, Red Cross co-ordinator here in the South.

Some 3,700 families have received help from this organisation in the municipalities of Arico, Granadilla, San Miguel, Arona and Vilaflor last month.

“We are still experiencing hard times; the number of users passing daily by our points continues to rise,” laments José, underscoring the diversity of the nationalities of those affected. “There are many

nations, including the Spanish, who have increased the most.”

The figures reflect a worrisome, social photography of life for some in the South.

Throughout 2015, many families were distributed more than 13,000 kilos of food.

Some came from the European Food Fund, and the rest through a project facilitated by San Miguel Council.

In addition, the Social Emergency Unit conducted more than 1,000 deliveries of meals (breakfast and

dinner, mostly) to the homeless in the Arona municipality.

The work done by the Red Cross also included 215 activities in the region over the 2015 summer months which will help those most at risk during the change of weather, including those elderly people who cannot afford a proper diet.

The transport of people with physical and mental disability reached 70,000 transfers and actions last year. This daily mobilisation was to get them

to their educational, social and health centres.

These measures prevent homelessness through training workshops and guidance measures, along with the assistance and monitoring of vulnerable people.

Since the outbreak of the economic crisis, San Isidro, El Fraile and Las Galletas are still among those areas where the Red Cross deploys much of its service, and where most of the aid is allocated in the region.

Muslims in Spain benefit from generosity of UAE DURING the holy benefiting families in Foundation, Emirates month of Ramadan, which has already begun and finishes on 5th July, the United Arab Emirates Consulate General in Barcelona is providing 62 tonnes of food to 5,000 Muslim families in Spain.

The project, funded

by UAE charities, is

the north-eastern area of the country, in the Catalonia region.

The food will be distributed at mosques and Islamic centres in the region’s four cities.

The project, the region’s largest, is supported by the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Red Crescent, Human Appeal International, Dubai Charity Association and Sharjah Charity International.

Salim Al Owais, UAE Consul General in Barcelona, oversaw preparations for the project, according to Wam, the state news agency.

Anti-Zika plan by Games committee SPAIN’S Olympic Committee is providing 3,000 bottles of insect repellent for its athletes to help them avoid the Zika virus during the Rio Olympics.

At Monday’s meeting, to inform the local sports federations about the virus, the committee said it recently reached a deal with the laboratory Omega Pharma to provide its strongest repellent to the hundreds of

Female football fans are attacked by gang BARCELONA Police are investigating last Saturday’s attack on two women, who were rallying support for the Spanish national football team.

They were commanding a stand in the city’s Sant Andreu neighbourhood, aiming to encourage Catalans to get behind Spain, who will be taking part in the month-long Euro 2016 tournament in France, which begins

today (Friday). The attack on the women, members of Barcelona con la Selección (Barcelona with the national side), was caught on camera by a passerby on Saturday afternoon.

It shows a group of five individuals punching and pushing the women to the ground at a busy intersection, calling them “Spaniards”.

The women, who were treated by paramedics, have not reported the incident so far.

Barcelona con la Selección is a private

initiative, set up after Barcelona City Hall refused to provide openair spaces with large screens to allow fans to watch Euro 2016.

Spain have won the competition on three occasions, the last two in 2008 and 2012.

Alberto Fernández Díaz, head of the conservative Popular Party in Barcelona City Hall, condemned the attacks, calling for an end to “intimidation,” and requesting the authorities provide openair coverage of Spain’s matches “in the same way other Spanish

cities will be”. Carlos Carrizosa, spokesman for Ciudadanos in the Catalan regional parliament, demanded that the regional government “intervene to prevent the increase in these episodes of violence and intimidation against people who do not support independence”.

Catalonia has been battling with the central government in Madrid over recent years to hold a referendum on independence, something the Popular Party government of Mariano Rajoy fiercely opposed.

Cabildo’s 7m-euro plan to upgrade farming facilities BEING a self-sufficient island is rather challenging, and the authorities are constantly looking at ways to upgrade our infrastructure.

In recent years, there have been some large investments to improve the island’s slaughter-houses, but there is still more work to be done.

The Cabildo has recognised that the current infrastructure, and the raising of livestock in farms, needs improving.

This will be in the form of new buildings, adapted to modern safety requirements. And, says

the Cabildo, it will cost at least seven million euros.

It is one of the projects included in the Strategic Framework for Multi-Year Investment, in which the Cabildo and municipalities plan to invest more than two billion euros in the next 10 years.

This scheme is just one of 36 major programmes to receive funds from the Traffic General Business Tax (IGTE), which will be managed the Canary Islands Government.

Regarding the plan to improve agriculture infrastructures, building new slaughter-houses

is the most important from an economic view.

The Insular Slaughterhouse company has a number of shareholders, the majority of shares being held by the Cabildo.

And Cabildo Agricultural Councillor Jesus Morales, said: “The new investment will bring us up to the required standards in modern times.

“It is necessary and a total renovation, which enables us to meet the requirements stipulated by law and improve service to the highest quality.

“This will expand not only the mechanisms and infrastructure, but also activities that can be developed by butchers and farmers.”

Spaniard athletes travelling to Rio in August.

Committee doctors said there was a need to “remain engaged but not worried” about Zika, noting that only one in four people with the disease develops its symptoms. They stressed, however, that pregnant woman in the delegation should not go to Rio. And the committee will respect athletes who decide against competing.

Strike threat could hit summer tourism trade THERE could be an airtraffic controllers’ strike in Spain shortly - and the timing couldn’t be worse.

The CCOO and UGT unions announced this week that they are planning action and stoppages this summer, affecting the 13 air-traffic control towers, managed by private operators.

They feel the independent owners have reneged on a collective agreement, which had been agreed, and they are angry!

The announcement could affect the control

towers of Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Palma airports.

Eduardo Garcia, secretary of Social Policy and Air Section of CCOO, has indicated that the timing of strikes depend on what happens during talks over the next week or so. But he stressed: “There is no interest in going to this extreme measure.”

As usual, the argument between owners and unions is over money and working conditions.

And such arguments are not that unusual, entering the busiest months of the year.

Alonso pledging millions for projects in the South CABILDO President Carlos Alonso pledged this week that “many millions of euros” will be invested here in the South to finance some important projects.

He referred, in particular, to the Las Chafiras link works, which will cost 32m euros, and the Cabildo has drafted a project pending the legally-required bidding process for construction rights.

He said both the Canarian Government and the Cabildo agree that in the next two years, there will be investment in the southern roads, which is proving one of Island’s main problems in the South.

Alonso said the Cabildo would carry out the works between Guamasa and Las Chumberas, which has 15m

euros set aside for the scheme. And the Ministry of Public Works will have to complete the coastal road work, between Ofra and El Chorrillo, and what remains pending of the Island’s southern section ringroad.

The Cabildo chief said the only point still under discussion was who would run the work of the ring-road between El Tanque and Santiago del Teide. And he specified that the Cabildo would incorporate the strategic development framework that has been developed.

That includes projects which could be funded by tax money from the General Traffic Budget (National Government money).

Alonso is confident that the agreement with the Canarian Government to establish the works in Las Chafiras is “more or less agreed.

We will see works which will improve and create a third lane.”

Taking the sting out of jellyfish!

A WARNING has been issued to holiday-makers along Spain’s Mediterranean coast to watch out for jellyfish this summer.

The sea creatures with the awful sting are on the rise because of the “human impact on the oceans,” according to Professor Josep Maria Gili, from Barcelona’s Institute of Marine Sciences.

“This is the most important cause of the increased number of jellyfish, according to the scientific community “After studying 18 years of continuous records and studying the environmental factors, we can say that more jellyfish are arriving each year.”

The professor added:

“Over-fishing, pollution and climate change have contributed to jellyfish multiplying in all the oceans.

“The most obvious cause is over-fishing because lots of fish are the natural predators of the jellyfish, and turtles also compete with the jellyfish for food (zooplankton).

“And if the number of predators and competitors for food is decreasing, it will simply increase the jellyfish num-

bers.” He also believes that increased temperatures and lack of rain are also important factors responsible for the increased numbers of jellyfish on beaches.

Last year, Spain experienced some of its highest-ever temperatures, including three separate heatwaves, while meteorologists have predicted another summer of higher-than-usual temperatures.

But though the jellyfish numbers have been on the increase, Gili confirmed that the creatures do not hang around for too long.

“There have never been jellyfish on a beach for more than 15 days during the summer months, and they usually appear for around three days,” he said.

Towns along Spain’s north-eastern coastline have developed special

“jellyfish plans”, such as the Jellyrisk project, put in place when the creatures appear on the beaches.

The plans, according to Gili, solve the problem of jellyfish “in 99% of cases.

“And co-ordination between local authorities, assistance of beach rescue teams and scientists, have produced excellent results on the Catalan coast,” he said.

And his advice to tourists worried about jellyfish? “It is important to remember that jellyfish never bite swimmers - they sting when you come into contact with their tentacles.

“If there are jellyfish on the beach, it is better to swim in the pool that day and wait a day or two before going back to the beach.”

He believes the best protection against jellyfish stings is to use

sun-screens “well and continuously”.

If you are stung by a jellyfish, Gili advises leaving the water immediately and looking for a lifeguard. If there are no lifeguards on the beach, wash the wound with salt water, but never fresh water.

Cool the area down by applying ice for around 5-10 minutes. You can also try wetting the wound with vinegar or baking soda, dissolved in water.

Protect the area by using an antiseptic to avoid infections. If the pain continues, make sure you consult a doctor.

But Gili warns against the common myth that urinating on a jellyfish sting can help ease the pain. “That is absolutely false,” he said. “It could be effective for some fish bites but never for jellyfish.”

Two die in coach horror AT least two people were believed to have died and around 50 left injured after a coach crashed into a towtruck in Spain.

The tragic incident occurred in the small southern town of Montoro, and one of those who died was understood to be the driver.

The other victim was a passenger on the coach, said to have been travelling from Madrid to Grenada.

In the aftermath of the crash, many passengers were trapped in the vehicle and had to be cut out by emergency services. All passengers suffered minor injuries and were taken to the Reina Sofia Hospital, in nearby Corboda, for treatment.

Local news reports suggested that the street lights may have been out at the time of the crash.

The tow-truck driver and passenger were believed to have been at the side of the road when the accident happened.

Swiss vote ‘No’ to huge pay-outs for every adult SWISS voters have rejected proposals to force their government to pay each of its citizens the equivalent of nearly £1,800 every month - even if they’re not working!

The introduction of an unconditional national income was suggested as a means of tackling poverty and inequality.

But the plan was derided by critics as “a Marxist dream”.

In a national referendum, 76.9% of Swiss voters opposed the scheme, which delighted government members, who had urged citizens to vote No after 100,000 signatures sup-

porting the move had forced a referendum.

Advocates argued that because robots, machines and computers were increasingly replacing humans in the workplace, and didn’t need to be paid a salary, workers could be “freed” from the drudgery of employment if the state supported them.

Ralph Kundig, one of the lead campaigners, said: “For centuries this has been considered a utopia, but today it has not only become possible, but indispensable.”

Supporters offered no ideas about how the proposals would be funded, suggesting it would be the job of the Swiss government to crunch the numbers if citizens were in favour of the plan.

Analysts estimated it

would cost £17.65bn and would needed to have been funded by austerity cuts and substantial tax increases.

The right-wing Swiss People’s Party argued that Switzerland’s open-border agreement with the EU would lead to people pouring into the country to take advantage of the scheme.

And critics warned that the Swiss economy would be damaged if low-paid employees had little incentive to work and simply gave up their jobs.

Charles Wyplosz, economics professor at the Geneva Graduate Institute, said employees leaving their jobs in droves would harm the Swiss economy.

“If you pay people to do nothing, they will do nothing,” he said.

‘Grim Sleeper’ killer is sentenced to death LONNIE Franklin Jnr, convicted of the so-called “Grim Sleeper” killings in Los Angeles, has been sentenced to death.

The 63-year-old, former rubbish collector was last month found guilty of killing 10 women over two decades.

All the victims were found dumped in alleys and rubbish bins in the South of Los Angeles.

He was accused of fatally shooting or strangling nine women and a

15-year-old girl between 1985 and 2007. An 11th victim survived after being shot, raped, pushed out of a car and left for dead in 1988.

The killings came in two bursts - 14 years apart - earning the killer the Grim Sleeper nickname. And since his indictment in March 2011, police say Franklin has been linked to six more deaths.

He was arrested and charged in July 2010 after DNA collected from pizza crusts and napkins at a birthday party linked him to more than a dozen crime scenes.

Prosecutors said Franklin went after vulnerable, young, black women during LA’s crack-cocaine epidemic.

Some of the victims were prostitutes, and most had traces of cocaine in their systems, revealed authorities.

Franklin’s defence claimed a “mystery man” committed the killings, but the prosecution dismissed the theory as a fabrication.

Executions in California are on hold, pending litigation over lethal injections. And the state now has more than 740 inmates on death row.

The message in a bottle …from Spain to Maine!

AN American teenager and her younger sister put messages into several bottles and tossed them into the Atlantic three years ago.

And last week, 14-year-old Terra Gallo, from Cumberland, in Maine, New England, received a handwritten letter from a fisherman.

It said that her message had been found more than 3,000 miles away, in the Bay of Biscay, off the northern coast of Spain.

Terra, now 14, said: “I think it’s really cool.

At first, we were really surprised - wow, all the way to Spain. But when we looked at the ocean current, it made sense that it went that way.”

Terra said she and her sister, Nola, had forgotten all about the messages. Yet she had studied maps of ocean currents and she believed this particular bottle travelled from the Gulf Stream to the North Atlantic Drift

and the Canary Current.

The fisherman wrote: “I hope you are as thrilled to receive this letter as I was when I found your bottle. And I hope we’ll receive more answers when I return the bottle to the sea.”

Her mother Susan Gallo, said it was really meaningful to get a hand-written letter from the fisherman in this electronic age, and she hoped it would inspire her family to write more letters.

Terra’s message asked for whoever found her bottle to put a response inside with

hers and throw it back out to sea. The fisherman, in his letter, said he had complied with her wishes.

In June 2013, Terra and Nola were visiting their aunt, who lives on the secluded Monhegan Island - about eight miles off the Maine coast - when they decided to release about 10 bottles with messages enclosed into the water to see if or where they’d turn up.

“Monhegan is a community of about 70, year-round residents and it’s totally isolated, so everyone knows everyone,” said Terra’s mother. “It takes a little over an hour’s ferry ride to get there. That was the reason for doing the bottles there because it is out in the middle of the currents.”

The girls’ handwritten notes inside contained their aunt’s PO Box address in case they ended up in the hands of a friendly person, willing to reply.

“We thought there was slight possibility that someone would find them, but it was

just fun - a little experiment,” said Terra. “I don’t think we were expecting something this big to come out of it.”

Three years passed quickly and the family had forgotten their bottles until an unfamiliar letter arrived in the post last weekend.

Terra recalled: “My aunt texted us a picture of the envelope and the return address from Spain and asked, ‘Can I open this?’

“And we were like, ‘Yes, of course.’

“Then she texted us a picture of the letter and posted it to us as well, so now we have it.”

Her mother added: “The fisherman was out on the water, so it didn’t just wash up on the beach. The chances of him encountering it is awesome.”

Terra wrote the initial letter on 12th June 2013, and the fisherman found the bottle, covered in barnacles, on 28th May last year.

“I’m sorry for not having written this letter before,” he wrote.

“This is the first day of the year we go fish-

One-legged doll’s just perfect for Texas girl A LITTLE girl from Texas, who shed tears of joy when she unwrapped a specially-made doll with a prosthetic leg, said: “You’ve got to be kidding me - it’s got a leg like me”

The magical moment was captured on video, which has now gone viral, to millions of people.

Emma Bennett was born with a rare birth defect, which led to her leg being amputated when she was just nine months old.

The 10-year-old, from the Houston suburb of Cypress, was fitted for

a prosthetic limb as a toddler.

Despite this, her family said she always maintained a positive attitude and had made it on to the school’s “cheer squad”.

Emma has always wanted a doll that looks like her. And last

week her wish came true. The 10 million people who have seen the video and her emotional reaction can vouch for that!

The toy was made

by New York-based A Step Ahead Prosthetics, which specialises in building realistic-

looking limbs. And in the video, Emma tells the company: “Thankyou for making a doll like me!”

Apart from going viral big-time, the moment has also attracted more than 100,000 shares on Facebook.

ing for hake. I’ll throw the bottle into the sea with your letter and my answer, and maybe someone else finds the bottle in another part of the world and contacts us.”

Teenager Terra was thrilled to have found a more entertaining way to communicate

with people around the world than the nowtraditional texting method, or social media.

“We all rely on internet and phones to communicate, but there are really cool ways you can reach to talk and communicate with people,” she added.

Ghastly paedophile sent to Hefner sells to jail for at least 25 years bunny house A PAEDOPHILE monster, who abused up to 200 children, has been handed 22 life sentences - with a minimum term of 25 years.

Freelance photographer Richard Huckle, admitted an unprecedented number of offences, many in Malaysia, between 2006 and 2014, against children aged between six months and 12 years.

As the 30-year-old, from Ashford in Kent, was sent down, a horrified woman in the public gallery at the Old Bailey shouted: “One thousands deaths is too good for you.”

Shockingly, a stream of pictures and videos of his rapes and assaults on children were shared

worldwide with paedophiles on what is known as the dark web.

Huckle, dubbed Britain’s worst paedophile, even tried to make a business out of his horrific crimes by crowdfunding the release of the images.

When arrested, He was actually working on a guide to help paedophiles abuse children and get away with it!

Twenty-three children from poor Christian communities in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur were identified

in 71 charges, although a “Pedopoints ledger”, compiled by Huckle, indicated that the real number of victims was much higher.

Judge Peter Rook QC told Huckle he had carried out a “campaign of rape” and was consumed by his own sexual gratification.

He added: “You have pleaded guilty to as many as 71 sexual offences. It is very rare, indeed, that a judge has to sentence sexual offending by one person on such a scale as this.”

Huckle first visited Malaysia on a teaching gap-year, when he was 19, and later used an English teaching qualification and his professed Christianity to gain access to dozens of victims in poor communities there.

He was arrested by National Crime Agency

officials, who had been tipped off by Australian authorities as he arrived at Gatwick Airport on his way to spend Christmas with his family in 2014.

Investigators were able to recover more than 20,000 indecent images of children from Huckle’s computer, even though he refused to give them any passwords.

But they were unable to access some encrypted files, which are believed to contain “numerous” depraved images, as well as the names of a large number of unknown potential victims.

As well as the draft of Huckle’s paedophile manual, they found his “Pedopoints ledger”, in which he awarded himself marks for acts of depravity with children.

Jobless in May sees slight drop THE number of registered unemployed in the Canary Islands decreased in May by 1,996 people - 0.82% under the previous month’s total.

Figures released by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security show that the Canaries’ jobless figures in the last 12 months fell by 11,874 people - 4.71% lower - leaving the total number of registered unemployed standing at 240,067.

Unemployment dropped in Las Palmas

by 1,221 people - 0.96% less than the previous month and an overall total of 125,944 out of work. The annual numbers of jobless in the Las Palmas province was 9,197 fewer, representing a 6.80% decrease.

In Tenerife’s Santa Cruz province, the registered unemployed figure fell by 775 (- 0.67%) with a total of 114,123 out of work.

In the last year, the jobless tally fell in this province by 2,687, which was 2.30% less.

Of the 240,067 unemployed, 110,155 were men and 129,912 women, while the jobless under-26s numbered 13,650, of which 6,881 were men and 6,769 women.

By sector, registered unemployment in agriculture added up to 6,360; industry, 9,950; construction, 28,797; services, 178,39. The group without previous working experience totalled 16,569.

There has been a reduction in unemploy-

ment in all sectors, especially in the service area, with 1,334 fewer unemployed and construction with 707 fewer workers.

But the numbers of those who have never been employed increased by 280. And of the total contracts awarded, 7,067 were permanent and 53,021 temporary.

Of the new contracts, 33,238 were signed in the Las Palmas province and 26,850 in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Poverty rate falls

THE percentage of the population at risk of poverty has fallen by two points in the Canary Islands, from 30.4% recorded in recession-hit 2009 to 28.5% in 2015.

And that’s official, according to the proper indicator made up

by Caritas, which described this improvement as “remarkable”.

This evolution has allowed the Canaries to move from being the second region with the highest poverty rates in the country after Extremadura (30.9% in 2009), to take fifth place in 2015, after Andalusia (35.7%), Murcia

(31.8%), Extremadura (29.0%) and Castilla-La Mancha (28.5%).

According to Caritas, the Canaries is, in fact, the second region to improve its position proportionally in this indicator, only behind Catalonia, where poverty has fallen from 15.2 to 13.9%.

Caritas also indicates that the unemployment rate among the Canaries’ household breadwinners has fallen from 23.5% to 22.4% in this period, but it’s still nearly two points above the 20.7% national average.

According to the NGO, the probability of increased social-exclu-

sion” in Spain, despite economic growth, is “extremely high”.

Guillermo Fernandez, a Caritas founder-member, said: “In periods of economic recession, poverty is increasing rapidly, but when the economy grows, it does not fall in the same way, and even remains stagnant.”

Natalia Peiro, Caritas Director of Communication, Awareness and Advocacy, says this situation is becoming “invisible for much of the society” and is concerned over the widening of the “social fracture” after the crisis.

The territorial analy-

sis of inequality, poverty and unemployment shows a two-speed Spain and reflects that, as a result of the crisis, it has generated a divergence between the autonomous communities.

Research shows that differences between the North and South of the country are not only maintained, but tend to increase.

Thus, the southern regions of Andalusia, Extremadura, CastillaLa Mancha, Valencia, the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands would be found “worse”, before an eventual exit from the crisis.

PLAYBOY followers have reached the end of the road, because Hugh Hefner’s iconic Los Angeles mansion is being sold to the man next door – a billionaire businessman!

Daren Metropoulos, a 32-year-old private-equity chief, will become the new owner of the vast, 29-room property.

The sale price will not be disclosed until the deal is completed, and, as a condition, the Playboy Magazine founder must remain living there.

Some reports suggest it is selling for around $110m (£76.1m), nearly half the sum originally sought.

Metropoulos, coowner of the Hostess Brands - maker of the American snack Twinkies - bought his house from Hefner seven years ago for £18m. And, he plans to merge the two 1920s-era properties eventually, creating an enormous 7.3-acre compound.

That development will have to wait, however, because, under

the terms of the sale, 90-year-old Hefner will stay in the mansion for the rest of his life.

“If the purchase closes, and at some point after Mr Hefner’s tenancy ends, Mr Metropoulos intends to reconnect the two estates,” said a statement from his company.

“In the meantime, he is pleased to continue to have Mr Hefner as his neighbour, and feels privileged at getting the opportunity to serve as a steward of this historic property.”

The Playboy mansion, once the scene of countless, debauched, celebrity-filled parties, sits on five acres in LA’s Holmby Hills.

It features a gaming house, theatre, wine cellar, gym, tennis court, swimming pool, fourbedroom guest house … and the infamous Playboy grotto!

The property was bought by Playboy Enterprises in 1971 for just over one million dollars - then the largest realestate transaction in Los Angeles history.

14 dead as Turkish school bus crashes A SCHOOL bus, which careered off the road and into a canal in southern Turkey, left 14 passengers dead, including six children.

The vehicle was seen crossing a road in front of an oncoming car, before plunging into the water.

After creating a huge splash, it then drifted along as people rushed to the waterside from a nearby petrol station.

The bus was carrying pupils, teachers and parents, returning from a trip to the archaeological site of Karatepe, outside the city of Osmaniye.

Victims included a teacher, the bus-driver

and the driver’s assistant. Kerem Al, governor of the southern Osmaniye province, said 26 others were injured.

And Health Minister Recep Akdag said at least one had suffered serious injuries.

A crane was used to winch the vehicle from the water, and extensive damage to the bus was noticeable as it emerged from the canal.

Most of the bodies were, reportedly, recovered by divers. The children were from a school in the town of Iskenderun, in Hatay province, which borders Syria and lies just south of Osmaniye.

ITV’s group stage coverage also includes all of holders Spain’s matches and a standout tie between World Champions Germany and fierce rivals Poland. ITV will have first pick of the round of 16 and semi finals, whilst joint Euro 2016 broadcaster, the BBC, has first two picks of the quarter-finals. Both ITV and BBC will show the final.

The month-long festival of European football will see three home nations (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) compete in a major tournament for the first time since 1958.

Gary Lineker leads the BBC TV coverage alongside former England captains Alan Shearer and Rio Ferdinand, and Thierry Henry, who won the World Cup and European Championship with France.

There will also be contributions throughout the tournament from John Motson, Frank Lampard and Jurgen Klinsmann. They join an impressive line-up of former internationals working across the BBC’s coverage: Danny Murphy, Jermaine Jenas, Robbie Savage, Martin Keown, John Hartson, Mark Lawrenson, Kevin Kilbane, Neil Lennon, Gerry Armstrong, Chris Waddle, Danny Mills, Pat Nevin, Chris Brunt and Trevor Sinclair.

From the Seychelles to Barbados, this documentary series goes away with millionaire clients on madeto-measure holidays and looks behind the scenes at a luxury tour operator to see their extraordinary efforts to try and provide seven-star holidays across the globe.

This year’s first holiday is a sumptuous Christmas cruise around the Caribbean islands. Mervyn and Heather, on the other hand, just want a quiet life, dreaming of ten precious days away in one of the most prestigious hotels in Jamaica. At the tour operator’s offices, new girl Kelsey has swapped working in Thomas Cook for trying to create paradise on earth for her clients.

Steve Jones presents highlights of qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix from Montreal. The F1 circus takes a brief interlude from the European season with a trip across the Atlantic to what is an extremely popular venue with both teams and fans. Mercedes have dominated qualifying so far this season and the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is likely to favour their car with its long, fast straights. But there was a Red Bull on pole last time in Monaco, so perhaps this is the start of a challenge to Mercedes’ supremacy of the last two seasons. Lewis Hamilton took pole position last year ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg, who will be looking to set up a first race win in Canada. Plus, the Ferrari drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and three-time pole sitter Sebastian Vettel, will be looking to mix it at the front again.

Princess Diana’s Dresses: The Auction More 4, 22:00

This documentary explores the story behind some of Princess Diana’s most memorable looks, told through the couture dresses that went to auction in the biggest ever UK sale of her clothes.

With exclusive access to Kerry Taylor Auctions, the programme examines how Diana’s style evolved, the statement that was made by each outfit choice and why these particular dresses were key throughout her time in the spotlight.

Unseen archive footage and interviews with the style insiders who knew her best reveal what motivated Diana’s fashion decisions. From the 25-foot train of her wedding gown that was longer than any other royal train, to the off-shoulder velvet gown she wore when she famously danced with John Travolta, and the striking halter-neck black dress that was captured by Mario Testino.

Better In Or Out? BBC1, 22.35

Local people are being invited to have their say on regional TV specials on the EU referendum across the UK on 12 June.

All of the BBC’s regional news programmes will screen the specials, which will examine precisely how the critical issues are likely to impact at street level in their part of the country.

The audiences will be made up of local people from all walks of life, who will be invited to fire questions at a panel of key regional figures who feel vehemently about either leaving or remaining in the EU. Details of panels and venues will be confirmed at a later date and will be available on regional news websites.

BBC English Regions Politics Editor Jason Dean says: “In providing this truly local perspective, these debates will complement the BBC’s wider referendum coverage and enable people to really understand what difference their vote could make in their own neighbourhood.”

BBC2, 21:00

There are around a million people airborne at any one time and keeping that number of people safely aloft depends on complex global networks and astonishing technology. In this programme, science broadcaster Dallas Campbell and Dr Hannah Fry explore just what it takes to keep this city in the sky safe between take-off and landing. Dallas discovers how pilots find their way across thousands of miles of sky in the dead of night. Hannah meets up with the air traffic controllers who are responsible for the busiest airspace in the world - over Atlanta in south east America - and reveal just what is involved in co-ordinating the 100,000 flights that cross the globe every day, while avoiding collisions.

Interview with a Murderer Channel 4, 21:00

In this one-off d o c u m e n t a r y, criminologist Professor David Wilson conducts a series of revealing interviews with convicted murderer Bert Spencer, the man never charged with, yet widely suspected of killing paperboy Carl Bridgewater in 1978 - a crime he has always denied. Carl was shot in the head at point-blank range whilst visiting a farm on his round.

The biggest police manhunt for a child killer seen since the Moors Murders ensued.

The crime is one of Britain’s most infamous unsolved murder cases, not only because it involved the brutal cold-blooded killing of a young boy but because the case became embroiled in controversy when the four armed robbers who had been sent to prison for Carl’s murder, the ‘Bridgewater Four’ had their convictions overturned some twenty years later when it was proven that their confession had been forged.

Match of the Day Live BBC1, 16:30

Republic of Ireland v Sweden.

Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the Euro 2016 group match between the Republic of Ireland and Sweden at the Stade de France. The Republic of Ireland are taking part in their third European Championship campaign and will be hopeful of winning only their second ever finals match - the last was a famous victory against England at Euro 1988. Like the Irish, Sweden had to come through the play-offs to qualify for this tournament, with the goals of brilliant striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic proving decisive. With tricky games against Belgium and Italy to come in the group stage, both sides will be desperate to get off to a winning start.

Alan Shearer and Kevin Kilbane provide studio analysis with commentary by Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson.

The brand new series of the RTS award-winning documentary continues to follow patients treated in the same 24hour period at St George’s Hospital in south-west London, which has one of the most advanced and busiest A&E departments in the world; it’s a place where stories of life, love and loss unfold every day.

Stephan, who is 39 years old, is rushed to St George’s with internal bleeding from his femoral artery.

Stephan has a condition called Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome and the bleed was caused by complications following an angiogram he had the day before. Doctors are concerned that the drop in blood pressure and sudden blood loss could be putting Stephan’s heart under potentially fatal strain. Stephan had to have a device fitted to restart his heart and his cardiologist encouraged him to ‘live a little’ - so he’s in training for his first Iron Man event.

Britain & Europe: The Immigration Question

10th June - 16th June 2016

T uesday

BBC2, 21.00

In this hour-long special for BBC Two, Mishal Husain takes an impartial look at the effects of migration from other European Union countries to the UK. From our economy and jobs market, through education, housing, and the NHS, to our security and national identity, this documentary explores the true impact of EU immigration on Britain.

This immigration question goes to the heart of what kind of a country we want Britain to be. It divides experts, politicians and the public.

Polls suggest it will be one of the primary issues, dictating how the public vote in the forthcoming referendum.

With Britain’s borders facing increasing pressures, this programme hears from experts and voices on both sides of the debate, as it seeks to shed light on what is fact and what is fiction.

Koko: The Gorilla Who Talks To People BBC1, 20.30 In 1971, Penny Patterson, a graduate student at Stanford University, met Koko, a new-born gorilla in San Francisco Zoo. Penny was fascinated by other ape language experiments taking place at that time and decided to try to teach Koko sign language.

She hoped to bridge the boundary between animals and humans. But what started out as a scientific experiment evolved into a unique relationship which, for almost half a century, has challenged the way we think about animals and changed the course of many lives.

After 44 years Project Koko is the world’s longest ape-language study, with Koko mastering hundreds of signs.

Early on, the relationship survived attempts to reclaim Koko by the zoo where Koko was born, ejection from the University where Penny gained her PhD and scepticism from parts of the scientific community, which began to doubt the validity of Penny’s claims.

Koko’s unique life with Penny has been filmed every step of the way by Dr Ron Cohn, who has shot over 2000 hours of footage. Part scientific record and part home video, the archive charts the most dramatic moments of Penny and Koko’s life together.

The New Gypsy Kings BBC2, 21:00

This World goes inside the world of R o m a n i a’ s super-rich Gypsy popstars - a world of fast cars, lavish houses and gangsters. The Roma community is one of the most marginalised and impoverished in Europe and for years their traditional music has been their most famous export. Now a new type of Gypsy sound called Manele has swept across the country.

Manele stars can earn 20,000 euros a night at opulent weddings, with cash showered over them by guests. Their videos can get millions of hits on YouTube. But Manele is controversial - some of its lyrics glorify gangsterism and some its biggest fans are notorious underworld figures. Filmmaker Liviu Tipurita takes us into the heart of this extraordinary world.

New Blood BBC1, 21.00 Rash tries to convince Sands that the suspicious deaths are all connected.

Rash shows the India photo to Sands and persuades him that a visit to the funeral for one of the victims might lead them to other people in the group. His instinct pays off again when Bruce Lockwood shows up, revealing that the group met in Mumbai during a drugtrial run by British company Greenfern, overseen by David Leese.

Bruce also mentions another guinea pig - Henry - and Sands tasks Rash with finding both Leese and Henry.

Meanwhile Stefan is at a smart London hotel for the UK Remicon party, pretending to be Leese. There are prostitutes and luxury training courses on offer, but before Stefan can discover more his drink is spiked. Hallucinating, he stumbles outside and into the path of a truck, only to be saved by Rash, who is on his way to find Leese.

Reluctantly Rash looks after Stefan for the night, though neither will divulge why they were at the hotel.

As Rash tracks Henry down, Stefan and his SFO boss Marcus discover that Leese is connected to Greenfern, a subsidiary of UK Remicon - the centre of their investigation.

When they find Greenfern is still making payments to Henry Williams, Stefan also goes to find Henry - but encounters more than he bargained for.

Whales and dolphins - see them naturally!

THERE is a vast array of Whale and Dolphin excursions on offer here in the South of Tenerife, and it’s a fantastic way to view these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.

A huge controversy over animals in captivity is currently raging, so this is a wonderful opportunity to take to the sea and enjoy their freedom as they bask in the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic.

Vessels of virtually every shape and size are available for spotting whales and dolphins - from small yachts, to luxury powerboats; grand catamarans to huge pirate boats … the list goes on and on.

Some tours are fully guided and will inform you of amazing facts about the mammals’

lifestyles. Some will include an open-bar service throughout the trip, some a snack and others a meal.

General choices are a two, three or 4½-hour sailing. If you can see where I am going, there is something to suit all types. So where do I begin?

Well, I find the most popular sailing tends to be a three-hour trip, and, of course, all companies operate differently.

But as a general rule, on the more commercial-guided boats, you will embark, receive a full safety briefing, and also be notified of

the importance of not throwing any rubbish overboard, because it could pose a danger to sea life.

Initially, the boat is searching for the whales and dolphins.

And, luckily, at the larger end of the market they have radars on board. That means they tend to be

pretty quick to discover exactly where to find them. Of course, the captains all communicate, so even a smaller cruiser can join the location.

Dolphins and shortfinned pilot whales comprise the most regular sightings, and these animals are in no way fearful because they are protected in our Tenerife waters.

They come extremely close to the boats and it’s a breathtaking experience to be so close to nature.

After this, a general cruise along the coastline is in order, before mooring up in a quiet bay so you can dive from the boat and treat yourself to a swim if you fancy it. Some companies even offer the use of snorkelling equipment.

Lunch or a snack is usually served, and then a good chill-out, with the option of topping up your tan on deck, while listening to the waves lapping at the side of the boat.

This interlude is followed by a leisurely sail back to port, taking in on the way, impressive views of Mount Teide as she appears, majestically, in the centre of the Island.

You can also enjoy close-up views of some of the spectacular fivestar hotels in the Del Duque area.

Boat capacities can range from a single passenger, to almost 200 people. All are available as a private charter, if you prefer not to opt for a tourist trip. And tailor-made trips can also be created. The list is endless…

For more information or reservations on Whale and Dolphin Watching, please contact the friendly Tenerife Sunshine Team on 922 751 867 - open seven days a week.

Alternatively, you can email info@tenerifesunshine.com or visit the website www.tenerifesunshine.com and make online reservations there at the very best prices.

Tyre safety and usage

By Emma at Motorworld

WE must surely be aware that a good set of tyres can make a significant difference to the handling of the car - and also to the safety of the driver and passengers, and others in accidents or incidents… or are we?

Many drivers make routine checks for oil, water, washers, etc. But tyres often seem to be neglected, apart from, maybe, topping them up with air while at a garage on the odd occasion.

So the tyres are, in many cases, probably

the most-neglected part of a car!

With the poor state of many Tenerife roads, it is important to ensure that your tyres have sufficient tread and are fitted and balanced correctly - and are, of course, the correct size, in accordance with the Ficha Técnica of the vehicle.

If the tread is worn thin or is smooth, there is higher probability that the car will not be able to grip the road properly in differing weather conditions.

The minimum tyre

depth is 1,6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread around the complete circumference of the tyre … confusing!

A lot of vehicle manufacturers recommend a replacement tyre is fitted when the depth has worn to 3mm. In wet conditions - quite rare in Tenerife - the car will require a firmer grip and a longer stopping distance.

And if your tyres are over or under-inflated, this can cause uneven wear, which may, potentially, be dangerous.

We need to learn more about the tyres on our cars and how to check them, not only visually but for tread depth and wear: objects such as nails, which can cause a hole and a slow puncture you may not notice because the air will be seeping out slowly.

Another potential danger, of course, is a tear in the wall of the tyre from a stone or a pot-hole.

Most cars have a sticker somewhere, usually in the door panel or petrol flap, which shows not only what tyres

should be on the car, but the recommended tyre pressures for both front and back, according to the vehicle’s load.

If you have any doubts, I recommend a visit to your own mechanic. He/ she can assist you with the checks and advise you if you need to replace the tyres, inflate them, or if there is another problem.

And never forget to check your spare tyre, too. You never know when you might need it.

You should note that there are numbers

on every tyre, which denote the week and year in which it was made.

And while some suppliers offer cheap tyres, they may actually be old ones, and manufacturers recommend, generally, that tyres be replaced every five years, depending on the condition and number of kilometres they have travelled.

As I have said, maintenance and visual inspection of tyres is important, and it is not always necessary to use tyre-fitting garages for this. They may offer/ suggest that you need new tyres when, in fact, you still have a lot of life left in them.

My recommendation is to go with whom you trust. Many reputable repair garages can offer a better quality of tyre, or a similar one at a competitive price.

But the onus obviously lies with the owners doing their own, basic, maintenance checks.

SUN-CARE AND

A big thumb’s-up to mobile phones

PROTECTION

By Carl Pattison

By Val Sainsbury

WITH temperatures soaring here in Tenerife, it’s not only your body that needs protecting. Your precious hair does, too.

SOARING numbers of smartphone users are giving a thumb’s-up to handsets, quite literally, because the overworked digit has become as much as 15% larger on the dominant hand.

The condition has become known as “swiper’s thumb”, and those aged 18-34 have noticed it most, with one in eight developing the deformity as a result of tapping out text messages continuously, and grappling with large mobile-phone handsets.

Overall, 32% of smartphone-users feel their bodies have changed as a result of mobiles.

And millions also say they have developed an indent in their little finger, from the

If you can see your skin changing colour because of the sun, then think about what it’s doing to your poor hair.

In the salon, I see not only burnt, dried-out hair, but burnt scalps as well. So if you’re going to be in the sun, then protect your hair.

You can take the easy route by covering it, using a hat - or scarf. Alternatively, you’’ll have

to apply something to keep it protected.

Smearing it in conditioner or masque, before you leave the house, is an idea. Or tie it back and spritz with hair sun-protector, which can also be put through shorter hair.

Dry-oil sprays are good for the scalp because they don’t leave your hair looking greasy. But even if you aren’t sitting in the sun, your hair can be burned, just by walking around.

Prevention is bet-

ter than cure, so don’t be crying at the end of summer when your hair turns dry and crispy.

After swimming, always rinse it in clean water, and shampoo and condition as soon as possible.

Sunlight doesn’t just dry out your hair. It will lighten and, literally, burn out the colour, even if it’s a darker shade.

So, take care out there with your precious locks!

WEDDING BELLES

By Carl Pattison

IT’S that time of year when, if you have a wedding coming up, you should be chasing down those outfits and accessories.

There’s nothing worse than grabbing an outfit at the last minute, and then disliking how you look, and feel, in it.

So, where do you start?

Number one - stay away from white. That’s the bride’s colour. Next, ask about the wedding colour scheme - you don’t want to blend in with the flowers and table decorations.

You need to take into account where the wedding will take place: for instance, church, hotel etc, as well as its style and theme - and the weather.

Your outfit should represent you, so don’t dress as someone else for the day. You must feel comfortable in it, as well as in your shoes and complementary attire.

Choosing a colour scheme is totally down to you, but try on something you wouldn’t normally go for as first choice.

Check out what others will be wearing, especially regarding colour schemes. You don’t want to clash with

another guest. Try to choose just two complementary colours because you don’t want your look to be too busy.

You can go for a simple, one-coloured dress, adding another shade with items such as bags, hats, fascinators and shoes.

Don’t overdo your look by overloading the dress with fussiness.

Keep it simple and chic.

Spending a fortune isn’t necessary, either.

With stylish accessories, a simple, inexpensive dress can be made to look expensive.

Above all else, dress up to look gorgeous.

It’s not every day you get to feel so glamorous.

way they cradle their phones.

People spend a daily average of two hours on mobiles, and research by phone provider O2 found that 40% of the population even believe their bodies will continue to adapt to their beloved handsets.

Hand therapist Nicola Goldsmith said: “Our thumb muscles are highly complex, and they’re located in the base of the thumb as well as in the forearm.

“So an increase in thumb-swiping could add to muscle strength and bulk in these muscles.

“As the research shows, these localised changes - such as enlarged thumbs and little-finger indents - are becoming the new norm because younger adults are using the phone for longer periods.”

Nicola added: “Also common among the big-thumb brigade is the phantom vibration

from a pocket, when owners imagine they can feel their phone alerting them to a call or a message.

“But there’s no need to worry that our children could have giant thumbs in the future, because increasinglysophisticated, voicerecognition interaction with our phones is likely to prevent any longterm changes.”

The O2 Mobile Life Report, which surveyed 2,000 people, also showed that 20% of us can’t go a day without our phones. Yet 17% believe the phones helps them live longer!

Nina Bibby, 02 marketing and consumer director, said: “Smartphones have become an extension of ourselves, and it’s difficult to tell where our hands stop and the handset starts.

“Our bodies seem to be changing subtly to adapt to the fact that mobiles are increasingly a part of our lives.”

Jammin Caribbean Cuisine Restaurant, Las Americas

Jam with the Fam DO you fancy sitting yards from the beach watching the sunset setting over La Gomera with friends and family while eating authentic, home-made, Caribbean food against a reggae sound-track?

Welcome to the brandnew Jammin Caribbean Cuisine Restaurant, which can be found on the beach front in CC Salytien, in the heart of Las Americas.

The wife and I had the pleasure of eating there last week, and it really was a pleasure!

Jammin is a proper family affair with the Temps and Sandy in the kitchen, while Sandy’s daughter, Jazzy, and fiancée Gareth working front of house.

And they take pride that all the food served is fresh, and all the marinades and dry-rubs are prepared daily for maximum taste.

We took a table on the terrace, which has the most amazing views of the Atlantic, La Gomera, the beach and - perfect for people-watching - the promenade.

Having ordered drinks, we enjoyed the late afternoon sun, listening to some excellent, oldschool reggae while perusing their tasty menu.

I ordered the curried goat, rice and peas and fried dumplings with

home-made coleslaw, while my wife chose a half-portion of Cajun salmon salad with Caribbean fried fish and a sideorder of jerk wings.

The goat meat was so tender, and plenty of it, plus loads of flavour from the home-made marinade in which it had soaked for 24 hours, then cooked in for over four hours.

Together with the rice and peas it was a delight,

especially alongside golden-brown, fried dumplings - perfect with the curried goat sauce.

The Cajun salmon salad was a superb dish: a fillet of fresh salmon, grilled to perfection and coated in Jammin’s secret spice recipe along with fresh lettuce leaves, tomato, cool cucumber and onion salad.

It was delightful to eat and so light, and the Caribbean fried fish proved spicy and crunchy, and a touch of secret seasoning to keep you guessing what makes the restaurant’s food taste so special.

Oh, and not forgetting the jerk wings, which came with a large pot of Jack Daniels’ Caribbean sauce and fell off the bone.

After we had finished our meal, we chatted with Temps and Sandy

over a blooming great rum-based cocktail.

Once we got talking about our mutual love of food, we could see they were passionate about their restaurant, and the standard of food and service provided backed them up!

The Jammin Carribean Restaurant is the go-to place for a light lunch, a takeaway, afternoon cocktails or simply the best, authentic, homemade, Caribbean food here in the South. Not forgetting the spectacular terrace views.

Cats Welfare news

Exclusive neutering offer

WE have a fabulous offer of cat neutering, exclusively through us this month - 35 euros for males and 65 euros for females at any of the vets we collaborate with, in Las Chafiras, Los Cristianos, and Gran Sur. Not only does neutering stop kittens, but it also prevents your cat developing some serious cancers and other diseases.

If you love your cat and you want to help keep it safe and healthy, neutering is imperative, even if it’s a “house cat”.

Males can be neutered from four months onwards and females five months. Contact us to receive your unique promotion code, via our website www.cats-welfare-tenerife.com/contacts - or ring or whatsapp Theresa 680 475

500 (9am-6pm,7 days a week).

Kittens available We have lots of beautiful kittens available for adoption - all different colours, sizes, temperaments, male and female.

If you are thinking of adopting, call Theresa for a no-obligation chat about availability.

All kittens are given to you on trial, so you have time to be sure you have made the right decision.

If you choose to adopt a black kitten, its injections, microchip and neutering will be paid for by us.

This is because we find it harder to home black kittens because they are not seen as “pretty” by some people - but they are. Really!

Incidentally, it is much better for the kittens to be homed in pairs so they have company and

a playmate while they are at home alone.

To encourage the adoption of two kittens, we pay for the injections, microchip and neutering of the second one.

Let’s not also forget the adult cats we have awaiting homes. These can all be seen on our website www.catswelfare -tenerife/pets.

They are all neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and ready to go on trial immediately.

Your donations Do you have anything to donate to help us raise funds? Items can be dropped into the shop at San Blas, on Golf del Sur (behind HiperDino). It is open seven days a week, 10am6pm (Saturdays 11am4pm).

If you don’t have transport, or have large, bulky items to offer us - such as furniture and household effects - please ring Mark on 636 590 557, who will arrange collection from you.

Keep your pets cool WITH high, summer temperatures beckoning, remember to keep your animals safe by ensuring they have plenty of shade - and plenty of cool water!

Yes, it’s a tough ask in this weather. But a frozen, cool-box ice-block in a bucket of water will help keep it cool for much longer - or you can simply add some icecubes.

Please avoid walking your dogs on hot pavements because the heat can burn their pads. And never, ever, leave them alone in a car.

The inside of a car can become hot, very quickly, and the intense heat can have a detrimental effect on an animal a lot sooner than you might expect.

When the temperature reaches 22C/72F outside, the temperature inside a car can reach 47C/117F within an hour. And leaving a window open, or covering your windscreen, certainly doesn’t cool the vehicle.

Dogs in hot cars begin to pant very quickly, which can signify the start of heatstroke.

And once they are put in this tragic position, it can lead to death very quickly.

If you see a dog locked in a car during this hot weather, please contact the Local Police immediately - you might just save its life!

Fun and foam What a fantastic time we had on Sunday, enjoying all the fun for the animals, adults and children alike.

We had singing, dancing, face-painting, a children’s workshop, horseriding, doggy-bathing, a tasty barbecue, a puppy play-area, plus a foam party for the children and much more.

A big thank-you to all the Accion staff, as well as our sponsors, volunteers and the avid supporters of Accion del Sol, who, together, made the day a great success.

And, hopefully, two more of our dogs have been especially lucky and found new, loving homes.

Tenerife Island Rentals - still leading the way IT takes a huge leap of faith to open a new company at the end of a long, bitter recession.

Especially if your existing business has

emerged through it unscathed and you’re sitting comfortably.

But that’s exactly what Tenerife Island Rentals’ Managing Director Sonya Hinley did by launching sister company Buy Tenerife in 2012, and

adding that title to the name.

Her San Eugenio property management business, founded in 2004, not only beat the recession but also built up a superb reputation with its clients over the years.

Girls’ bumper 2,533 euros for Los Cris disaster fund

THE 1st Los Cristianos Rainbows, Brownies and Guides raised a fantastic sum of 2,533,13 euros on their 5km sponsored walk in April for the Los Cristianos 14/4 disaster fund.

The girls offer a collective “thank-you” for the amazing generosity of family and friends for all the contributions to this worthy cause.

And a big thank-you goes out to Luna and her family, who raised a staggering 605 euros on their own.

Make a pact with FACT!

THE cancer-care support group FACT (Fighting Against Cancer Tenerife), based in the South of Tenerife, was set up just over a year ago with the aim of providing support to mainly Englishspeaking cancer sufferers, their families and friends.

The group has already contributed valuable cash to leading charities and to make life easier for sufferers. And next Saturday (18th June), members are staging their second major fund-raiser.

It takes place again at Palms Sports Bar, San Eugenio Alto (above Roy’s Pizza), from midday. And there’ll be live entertainment from 12.30pm onwards, plus a barbecue, raffle and a bottle tombola.

If you’d like to contribute prizes for the raffle or tombola, please contact Daph on 660 971 176 or Fran, on 634 125

108. Someone can collect them, or you can drop them into Palms Bar any time before the event.

Last year’s fund-raiser was an enormous success, and money raised was used to support cancer patients with transportation to hospital appointments, translators, etc.

FACT also made donations to Spanish cancer associations AECC (Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer) and Ámate, the breast-cancer organisation here in Tenerife.

So please help us to keep up the good work.

As some of you will probably know, cancer can leave you facing many challenges, especially in a country where the language is not your native tongue, and also if your family and relatives are not living here.

It’s easy to feel alone, and that’s where FACT comes in … members

can provide a shoulder to lean on and try to help you cope with this awful disease.

The group can also help you get to your hospital appointments if you are struggling for transport, and we’ll also assist with translating if necessary.

Members meet on the first Monday of every month at Palms Sports Bar, from 6pm, so please feel free to join us for a chat.

If you are unable to come, or if you would prefer to meet away from the group and talk privately, please contact us and we can arrange it.

You can find us on our FACT Facebook page, and message any of the group’s admin team (found under the Members’ tab), or call any of the following numbers: Moira: 617 069 785; Daph: 660 971 176; Jane: 609 588 385 or Phil: 600 046 549.

So much so that each time tenants decided to leave the Island for whatever reason, they relied on to Sonya and her team to sell their properties.

“We’ve always had a good relationship with our clients,” says Sonya. “We genuinely care for them, and our maintenance man is always on hand to sort out any problems they may have.

“But we’d been known as a rental firm for years, and putting up one of our “to let” signs, with a “for sale” sign stuck underneath, just didn’t look right.

“So I decided we should branch out and go the whole way; hence, Buy Tenerife. It was a natural progression because we had always created a good environment, and people felt safe with us.

“We found ourselves in a unique position in the market place, not only being able to sell a variety of property, from Locals and Villas and

Apartments, between Callao Salvaje and El Medano, but also to offer a wide range of buyto-let property promotions that simply took off.”

What has helped Tenerife Island Rentals and Buy Tenerife enormously is a change of office, from San Eugenio to Los Cristianos, where Sonya was able to purchase a property.

“It means such a lot to own your company’s office building, and we are in such a good position,” she says.

And what an office!

It’s a brilliant-white eyecatcher from the outside, and literally begs passers-by to take a look inside - more brilliant-white décor even if they’re not looking to do business.

Sonya and her loyal team have built a property-management company, recommended throughout Tenerife by other agents and white-collar workers, along with families

and residents over the years.

And to celebrate the company’s new, interfaced website, a new logo has been created, combining both Tenerife Island Rentals and Buy Tenerife in all its services.

And on top of buying and selling, its property management includes refurnishing expertise. “We can help you relocate and make the most of your investment,” says the boss.

To enjoy a refreshing change, please pop in and meet the Tenerife Island Rentals and Buy Tenerife team. They guarantee an honest approach and their full commitment.

The company is situated in Sur Y Sol Local 1, Ave Londres, central Los Cristianos.

Quick Quiz Answer: The peasant said: ‘I shall be hanged!’ If the peasant was lying, he would be hanged. But that’s what the peasant was saying.

So he speaks the truth. But if he speaks the truth, he would be beheaded, so then he was not speaking the truth. So it is impossible for the judge to determine whether the peasant speaks the truth or not. So therefore the judge cannot determine the penalty and sets the peasant free.

Too many tier two ties!

THE “threat” of promotion, it seems, is having a real influence in Division 2 of the Oasis Fm darts league.

So much so that we had to check that it wasn’t 1st April as last Friday’s results filtered through. And those of us who remember doing the pools coupon not me of course - will understand that too many drawn matches means a very low payout, if any!

So after five of the six matches played ended at four apiece, it was safe to say that all bets were off!

Even stranger, the only team to lose were league leaders Picassos, who lost the trebles leg and the match to the only winners, Marilyns B. Sundowners’ draw at Legends means they are now level on points at the top of the pile, closely followed by Marilyns B and The Tavern new boys, who have had a decent start to their maiden campaign.

It’s fair to say that Rood finally know

where Palms Pool Bar is after numerous laps of the Golf del Sur ringroad, in search of the venue.

But Luc demonstrated that he knows his way around a dart board as he hit his first 180 during the … drawn match! I was going to say “ring-rood”, but I wont!

Gaffers continue to lead the way at the summit of Division 1, even extending their lead to six points, courtesy of a solid win at Boothen, and Phoenix Bar’s defeat at Exiles.

Daniel took out a “cheeky” 120 for Gaffers, while Nathan hit two maximums for Exiles. This allowed Pas O Nadas A to take second spot, and they were also on the 180 trail with two from Richard and one by Gualty during a 6-2 victory at the Playboys.

Talking of drawn matches, Scruffy Macs made it three out of four played this term.

They travelled to The Pub, who put up a strong fight with a 180

Rugby: Canarian Sevens Tournament

That champion feeling

THE sun was shining and the La Laguna venue was set for an enthralling day of fast, exuberant rugby. The Ñandú boys did not fail to disappoint, and neither did the Federation, who compiled a day to remember.

Ñandú registered two teams, A and B, and came up against The Boatmen and CRULL, an unfamiliar La Laguna team. Ñandú A started brightly and the tournament’s opening try was scored by ever-present captain Toby Denholm-

Smith. Altogether, they put 34 points away against a determined university group, enabling Alvaro Gomez to score a hat-trick.

Conversions were kicked by Daniel Perez, following his 12-month lay-off from a serious knee injury, and the final score was 34-0. Ñandú B were up next,

against an El Medano side who were efficient in defence. But Ñandú’s scintillating, flowing rugby was unstoppable, giving them a 28-0 win..

The final games of the morning session saw Ñandú B score 53 points against CRULL, who failed to register a point, but showed real perseverance.

Ñandú A suffered their first loss with a 21-5 defeat against The Boatmen. While Ñandú were down to six men, the opposition pounced and scored. And Ñandú heads dropped.

The semi-finals saw Ñandú A against the Boatmen, and this time they were fired up by Denholm-Smith.

The boys dug-deep and delivered an inspirational performance.

A quick score came from Thiago Groba - his first for the club after a smart dash down the wing. Daniel Perez converted, but The Boatmen replied instantly, failing to convert. Ñandú held that twopoint lead going into the second half, when they put together a

string of passes through the back line, which created space on the wings.

And they never looked back, winning 17-10 to earn a place in the final. Ñandú B faced CRULL in their semi-final, and the effects of sustained running took their toll on the University side.

Coupled with a Ñandú team playing with their tails up, there could only be one winner and they scored a plethora of silky tries - six of their seven players touching down to sail into the final with a 47-0 score. Ñandú B’s Ricardo Bernal was simply too hot to handle as he carved open defences and used his rocket-like pace to score four tries.

He was voted as player of the tournament - an award completely justified.

Fly-half and club captain Jacob Oakenfold also reached the final of the kicking tournament, finishing runnerup.

The all-Ñandú final, between the A and B teams was fought out between two exhausted teams, and the B’s pace proved too much for their opposing colleagues, who went down 48-0.

The quality of Ñandú’s rugby was the culmination of months of hard-work, and it was a superb way to end an amazing season.

Who would have predicted it last September?

Ronaldo’s final chance?

THE opening game of the 2016 European Championship kicks off tonight (Friday), and the excitement is now palpable. This week we have a look at the final two Groups, E and F.

By Adi Benson

Group E looks like being the liveliest of all, with top seeds Belgium, the highest-ranked FIFA European team, and you can also throw the hot-blooded Italians into the mix. On top of that, you have the Zlatan Ibrahimovic-led Swedes and legions of insane Irish fans.

In Group F, you’d think Portugal would be favourites, but Iceland have emerged as a team to beat after coming through the qualifying and appearing for the first time in a major tournament. Hungary look the weakest team, but Austria could emerge as surprise group winners after having a near-perfect run in qualifying.

Belgium

Italy

Belgium are currently the second-ranked team in the world, and all signs point to them making their deepest Euro run in over 30 years. Marc Wilmots’ squad is loaded with talent.

However how many of their side would start for, say, France, Germany or Spain?

Italy are back in the international spotlight after qualifying as Group H winners - their ninth straight time finishing top in group qualification.

Manager: Marc Wilmots World ranking: 2nd Odds to win: 12-1 Best bet: Quarter-final elimination 3-1

Manager: Antonio Conte World ranking: 12th Odds to win: 18-1 Best bet: To make the Final 9-1

They are one of the most-decorated international teams, and had a strong 2012 European Championship run before finishing runnersup to Spain.

The defence is mustard, but there are concerns in attack.

Expect them to improve during the tournament because they are genuine contenders.

The defence is essentially four centrebacks, and they will struggle against a side with genuine width. They also have a mountain of expectation to overcome, and a tough draw. In brief, this may be a tournament too soon for them.

Republic of ireland

Sweden

The Euro 2016 play-off round was kind to the Irish as they beat Bosnia 2-0 to earn their berth in the group stage.

“It’s going to be magic - big magic.” These were the words of Zlatan Ibrahimović after Sweden needed playoffs to qualify for the tournament.

Group D was seen as a nightmare to get out of, but they took four points off Germany and that will give them confidence. However they were a joke in 2012 and have a look of a third-tier side. First match with Sweden is vital.

Ibrahimović has had tremendous success at club level, yet has struggled with Sweden. The Blueand-Yellows haven’t advanced past the Euro quarter-finals since 1992, and have missed out on the previous two World Cup finals.

Manager: Martin O’Neill World ranking: 33rd Odds to win: 150-1 Best bet: Jonathan Walters to be ROI goal-scorer: 5-1

Manager: Erik Hamrén World ranking: 35th Odds to win: 100-1 Best bet: To finish bottom of Group E 2-1

2016 European Championship: Group F

Iceland

Portugal

Iceland fought well to finish second in Group A to earn their place in the main competition.

Any Portugal preview begins and ends with Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s now aged 30, and this may be Ronaldo’s last chance to win a major tournament.

Portugal are a no-frills outfit.

They have two good wing-backs and some solidity in central midfield. But they have no out-and-out striker, are no world-beaters - and the first decent side they meet will put them out.

A 3-0 win over Turkey and a 2-0 home success against Holland were enough to ensure they finished behind the Czech Republic in the group stage.

Gylfi Sigurdsson scored six times for Iceland. They have a good starting XI, and they can make their presence felt in their first European Championship.

Manager: Lars Lagerbak World ranking: 34th Odds to win: 150-1 Best bet: To finish third in Group F 9-4

Manager: Fernando Santos World ranking: 8th Odds to win: 18-1 Best bet: Joao Moutinho top Portugal scorer 20-1

Austria

Hungary

Austria have made the biggest improvement in European football over the last three years.

Hungary defeated Norway in the play-offs, and are into the tournament proper for the first time since 1972.

They destroyed Group G with 28 points and 22 goals in qualifying.

Marc Jenko led the team with seven goals in qualification, but David Alaba, Marko Arnautovic, and Martin Harnik all scored three goals or more.

A good group and a nice draw. Only stage-fright will prevent them going into the latter stages.

The Magyars scored a crucial 1-0 victory in Norway in the first leg, aided by a goal from László Kleinheisler.

You could say manager Storck delivered!

Nine of the squad play for Videoton, the reigning Hungarian League champions, and, with due respect, that shows where they are.

Manager: Marcel Koller World ranking: 10th Odds to win: 40-1 Best bet: To win Group F 5-2

Manager: Bernd Storck World ranking: 20th Odds to win: 400-1 Best bet: To lose all 3 group games 6-1

Dutch Olympians tune up at the 3Ts A HUGE squad of Dutch swimmers are spending a 10-day training camp for the Rio Olympics at Adeje’s 3Ts, which is often used by Premier League football clubs and international tennis stars, among other top athletes.

The swimmers, who include club-mates Dion Dreesens, Femke Heemskerk and Phillipe Lucas - second in the 200m freestyle and third in the 100m freestyle at the recent European Championships - will pack their bags on Tuesday (14th June).

They will make their final Games’ preparations at the Scottish National Open event in Glasgow at the end of June, followed by the French Open and next month’s KNZB Challenger in Eindhoven.
